Slider Revolution vs LayerSlider Comparison

Which image slider plugin is the better alternative for my blog? With more and more competing premium WordPress plugins it gets harder and harder to answer that question. This article takes a look at two popular WordPress slider plugins: It compares Slider Revolution with LayerSlider in order to help you with your decision in choosing one.

There are several other alternatives to Slider Revolution and LayerSlider on the market which I have compared in separate articles. Go to my main WordPress Slider Plugins comparison to start your search.

Please note that this comparison only looks at the features on paper as reported by either plugin’s developers. It does not and can not tell you if or how well a certain feature will work for you. Because such a verdict would depend on too many variables, including your server setup and personal preference, I have decided to stick to the hard facts for this feature comparison between Slider Revolution and LayerSlider.

Slider Revolution And LayerSlider Feature Comparison

In my comparison I track 19 different features for all the slider plugins. In Slider Revolution you can find 9 out of 19 of those features. LayerSlider on the other hand offers 9 out of the 19 features in total.

Even if many of the features compared above overlap between the two competing products there is one very important difference: Slider Revolution as well as LayerSlider both provide a unique interface from which you will create powerful image slideshows that slide through multiple pictures. Since it is hard to rate the quality of such an interface objectively I recommend that you try both products yourself before deciding for one.

Explanations: The minimum price compared above is the lowest price a product is available for, e.g. the version with the least features. The maximum price listed is for a version of the product that includes all features. For plugins that charge per addon it factors in the cost of all available addons. For some products the price increases if you want to use it on more than 1 WordPress site – the listed price for 10 sites shows if that is the case.

You did not mention adding a simple button…Layer slider has no function for that. One has to be a programmer expert to add a button…Either know html or go to another page and find the shortcode and then copy and paste it in the layer slider…how very cumbersome. No easy way to add a simple button.

I am not a programmer and also the menus are confusing…No wonder slider revolution has 86K sold, versus less then 10K for layer slider.
